what part number from where?

do you mean a complete heads/cam/intake package or just assembled heads? be more specific on what you're looking at.

Yes , your going to need the pushrods for what you have which they should have in stock by trick flow.Also if you dont have adjustable rockers then you will need those too.

Yep, different head, I am thinking about either Edelbrock Performer heads, or AFR's 165cc heads.........

AFR 165's with the valve rev package are the way to go man. Will cost you a bit more though, But why skimp on a $1,000+ part.
